Birth Week Guidelines

The start of Birth Week was originally defined as the day on which you receive the first card/gift while the official end of Birth Week is three days after the actual day of birth unless that third day falls on a Friday or Saturday in which case Birth Week extends through the entirety of the weekend. In the event however the first card/gift has not been received by the third day prior to the official birth date, Birth Week begins anyway and continues, as previously described, until three days following the birth date or the end of following weekend, whichever comes later. (Some cultures believe that Birth Week continues until the last card/gift is received however since such a time cannot be anticipated Birth Week officially ends as indicated above and any cards/gifts received after that date are considered a "pleasant surprise".)
